The school where I teach offers a traditional style of TKD as well as MMA and Xtreme Martial Arts. The XMA pushes more of the aerial spins, etc than the traditional style. For every 15 or 20 "regular" students, we have 1 XMA student. The XMA stuff is fun to watch, but for personal self defense (IMHO) the traditional techniques are the way to go! Our school goal is "To build better people, one person at a time". Our school owner makes a living off his two schools, but is defintely not getting rich!
